The answer is letter A.

The trait of the tusks have changed over time because of the process of evolution. Adaptive evolution occurs when species need to survive and thrive in their environment. The use and disuse theory can defend this statement. Elephants developed tusks in able for them to engage in activities that are needed for defense mechanisms for larger predators. Since, they are among the biggest mammals that roam the Earth, the need for the tusks is slowly deteriorating. This is why some of the elephants develop small or do not really develop their tusks.
